100 Robert Parker
Composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild has an opaque garnet-purple color. WOW—the nose explodes from the glass with powerful blackcurrant cordial, black raspberries, blueberry pie and melted chocolate notions, plus suggestions of aniseed, camphor, lifted kirsch and the faintest waft of a subtle floral perfume in the background. Full-bodied, concentrated, bold and totally seductive in the mouth, it has very fine-grained, silt-like tannins, while jam-packed with tightly wound fruit layers, finishing in this wonderful array of mineral sparks. Magic. — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 31st October 2019
100 Jane Anson
The grilled cedar and campfire smoke settles in over the opening moments, and this radiates a generosity and glamour that not all the top 2016s are showing right now. Very much on the dark autumnal fruits, with expertly-judged estate and vintage signature, adding up to a hugely successful wine. Fresh pomegranate and orange peel acidities punctuate the bilberry, damson and cassis fruits on the palate, impressive grip and a ton of unfurling conversation still in front of it. 100% new oak, Philippe Dhalluin director. — Jane Anson, 4th February 2026
97 Vinous
The 2016 Mouton-Rothschild has a powerful bouquet with blackberry, cedar and light pencil-box aromas, quite tight at first but opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with more red fruit on the entry, a touch of blood orange and allspice, segueing into more classical Pauillac notes of graphite and tobacco towards the controlled but persistent and lithe finish. Sublime. Tasted at the 10-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. — Neal Martin, 16th April 2026
18 Jancis Robinson
Tasted blind. Warm, rich and welcoming on the nose. Very alluring. Lovely wine with real detail, and sufficient grip too. (JR) — Jancis Robinson, 12th February 2026

Wine as Art

The prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild estate is home to the world-renowned First Growth of the same name, in addition to a second red wine, Petit Mouton and a white wine, made in smaller quantities, known as L'Aile d'Argent. Established in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the Château pioneered the idea of bottling their own wine in the 1920s while other properties were still selling and exporting in barrel. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the high rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

Cabernet Sauvignon that takes pride of place in the wines of Mouton Rothschild, with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates in the Mouton red, giving the wine its rich tannins, wealth of aroma, flavour and superb ageing capacity. Meanwhile Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length.
